You can't say that about Derek Anderson. Only we can say that about Derek Anderson.

Depending on where you happen to spend your time on this funky World Wide Web, the Cleveland Browns and Derek Anderson coming to terms on a three-year, $24 million contract was either:

A) A brilliant move, and a well-deserved reward for Derek Anderson, or ...
B) The dumbest move in Cleveland since someone tossed a match on the lake.

And if you thought it was Oregon State fans who thought it was a dumb move -- because, after all, they did spend a lot of time booing Anderson once upon a time -- you'd be wrong.

Over at Pure-Orange.net, there is much spirited defense of Anderson, and abject loathing toward anyone who says an unkind thing. Colin Cowherd is a d*bag. Cleveland Fan is an ungracious twit.

Cleveland Fan, meanwhile, is a tad concerned about the 10 interceptions vs. 9 touchdowns Anderson threw over the season's final seven games. Also, oddly, there is some worry about the 10 of 26 Anderson put up in the Pro Bowl, a meaningless exhibition game that nonetheless has gathered some meaning.

This is funny. It's funny because the very thing that has Cleveland Fan fixated on Mr. Next -- local boy Brady Quinn -- is the same thing that had Beaver Fan booing their quarterback in Corvallis. Too many interceptions. Too many chances taken.

Cleveland Fan is not unlike Detroit Fan, beaten to a cynical pulp by years of wretched football. These fans are ornery and impatient. So to a certain extent, Anderson is already encountering what Joey Harrington had to deal with in Detroit, albeit with a better first-year resume and much more talent to lend a hand.

And so Oregon State's fans are coming to Anderson's defense, much the way Oregon fans charged to Harrington's. See, you guys have more in common than you think.
